BUYING ANTIQUE CHINESE EMBROIDERED TEXTILES
I HAVE SOME VERY LOVELY PIECES. THE COLORS ARE EXQUISITE AND THE STITCHING SO FINE YOU CAN BARELY SEE THEM. THERE ARE MANY NEWER PIECES ON THE MARKET TODAY. EVEN FRAGMENTS ARE PRECIOUS~EVERY SCRAP SALVAGED FROM AN OLD WORN OUT PIECE REPRESENTS MANY HOURS OF WORK. LATER THESE PIECES CAN BE FINISHED OFF AND FRAMED MAKING THEM INTO SMALL WORKS OF ART.
ACCORDING TO THE CHINESE THERE ARE TWO MAIN DIVISIONS OF EMBROIDERY,CHIH WEN AND TUAN CHEN. CHIH WEN USES THE LONG AND SHORT STITCH, WHILE TUAN CHEN INVOLVES THE SEED STITCH USED IN BEIJING, WHICH IS ALSO KNOWN AS THE FRENCH KNOT (BEIJING STITCH) THE STITCHES MOST COMMONLY USED BY THE CHINESE INCLUDE1) SATIN STITCH-FURTHER CLASSIFIED AS LONG AND SHORT ALSO 2) BEIJING STITCH OR FRENCH KNOT 3) STEM STITCH 4)COUCHING 5)CHAIN STITCH AND 6) SPLIT STITCH. ALL OF THESE STITCHES ARE KNOWN IN THE WEST. A LOT OF WESTERNERS FIND CHINESE EMBROIDERY OVER DONE. THE SATIN STITCH IS DONE TO PERFECTION EXQUISITE IN ITS FINE DETAIL. THE USE OF GOLD THREAD FOR THE FRENCH KNOT, FOR WHICH THE CHINESE HAVE A SPECIAL GIFT, IS CHARACTERISTIC OF THEIR WORK. USING FINE MATERIAL AND PAPER TO EMBROIDER-SHOW THE FINESS OF THEIR WORK~!
I HAVE SOME GREAT EXAMPLES OF THE ANTIQUE EMBROIDERED TEXTILES~LOTUS BOUND FEET SHOES~EARMUFFS~WEDDING SKIRTS~MANDARIN COLLARS~FRAMED TEXTILE PIECES
